The Newtown United Methodist Church rangs its bells for the victims — including one ring for the murderer himself! This political correctness stuff is disgusting. These idiots go and blame an inanimate object, a gun, for murder while they honor the murderer by ringing a bell for him. — Michael Garrett, Sussex.

Cliff watching

If there is a “cliff” deal, the middle class will bear the brunt of it, I predict, even if taxes on the rich go up. They’ll rejigger Social Security cost of living adjustments and the eligibility age for Medicare, etc. The rich may get higher taxes, but it’s the non-rich who will feel the real paid. Just you watch. — Linda Mills, Trenton
